Bread of Life Orphanage - A Special Love (Maria's Song) lyrics

rate me

At 89 years old

So tired that she could barely stand.

But daily to the market she came

With a cane in each hand.

In a bag that was strapped over her arm

She carried socks made from wool yarn

If she could sell just one pair today

Then her hunger would go away.

“Mister“, she said, “will you buy

These socks that I have made?

For just a few coins,

or for food I will trade.

If I can sell just one pair I can go

With some food back to my home.

And tonight I’ll make another pair

To sell tomorrow, if God hears my prayer.”

Then she said,

“God has a special love,

A special love for old widows like me.”

Then she said,

“God has a special love,

A special love for old widows like me.”

I gave her all the money I had

But my heart would not let me walk away

She couldn’t be left to this fate

Not for even one more day.

Is it true that when one member suffers

The whole body feels the pain?

Is this just a theory that’s been disproved

With a selfish religion to blame?

I believe

God has a, a special love…

For old widows like Maria

I believe

God has a, a special love

For old widows like Maria

After decades of hard work and toil

Working the fields, tending the soil

As a mother, and dedicated wife

She now starves at the end of her life

Left alone in a world that’s so hard

Destitute but faithful to her Lord

God’s hand reached down from above

And found her with His special love

I believe

God has a, a special love

For old widows like Maria

I believe

God has a, a special love

For old widows like Maria

A special love

A special love

A special love

A special love

A special love

A special love

A special love

A special love

A special love<br />

<br />
